The Committee is recommended to note the report and put questions to representatives of the Mayor’s Office, Transport for London, the RAC Foundation, the Road Haulage Association and the London Borough of Islington.

6.1  The Committee received the report of the Executive Director of Secretariat as background to putting questions to the following representatives from the Mayor’s Office, Transport for London (TfL), the RAC Foundation, the Road Haulage Association and the London Borough of Islington:

·  Garrett Emmerson, Chief Operating Officer, London Streets;

·  Mike Keegan, Transport Strategy Manager, TfL Planning;

·  Kulveer Ranger, Mayoral Advisor on Transport;

·  Professor Stephen Glaister, Director, RAC Foundation;

·  John Howells, London and South East Director, Road Haulage Association; and
